When God Says “Wait”නියැදිය

Strength When You’re Tired

There are times in life when you simply get tired; tired of believing, tired of waiting, tired of trying. Even David, the mighty warrior, came to that point. After returning to Ziklag to find his home destroyed and his family taken, David and his men “wept until they had no strength left to weep” (1 Samuel 30:4).

But in his lowest moment, David did something powerful: he turned to God. Instead of giving up, he “found strength in the Lord his God” (1 Samuel 30:6). You may feel weary right now, like all your prayers are hanging in the air. But even when your strength runs out, God’s strength begins. You can cry. You can rest. Just don’t disconnect from the One who can restore you.

When you seek God’s face in weakness, He gives fresh strength to rise again. Like David, you’ll recover what was lost and walk into your victory. So when you’re tired, pause, but don’t quit. Rest, but don’t retreat. God’s presence is your recharge point, and His promises are still true.

Reflection Question: What does it look like for you to “find strength in the Lord” when you’re weary?
